A Word About CataTrh.

ut is the mucous membrane, that wonder
full semi-tiuid envelope surrounding the deli
cate tissues of the air and food passages, that
Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once estaD-
tshed, ii eats into the very vitals, and renders
life but Il lOng-drawn breath of misery and
disease, duling the sense of hearing, tram
melting the power of speech, destroying the
faculty of smell, tainting the breath, and kill
ing the refined pleasures of taste. Insidious-
ly, by creeping on from simple cold in the
head, il assaults the membranous lining and
envelOps the bones, eating through the deli
cate coats and causing Inflammation, slough
ing and death. Nothing short of total eradi-
cation will secure health to the patient and
all alternatives are simply prOcrastinated suf-
ferings, leading to fatal termination. SAN
FORD'S RADICAL CURE, by Inhalation and by
Internal administration, has never failed:
even when the disease has made frightful in
roads on delicate constitutions, hearing
smell and taste have been recovered and the
disease thoroughly driven out"
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one
bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box Ca
